Arsenal's Mexico forward Carlos Vela is in talks over a transfer to La Liga side Real Sociedad.
The 23-year-old has struggled to make a first-team breakthrough at Emirates and has spent several seasons being loaned out, including a spell with Sociedad last season where he netted 12 goals in 35 appearances.
Vela's chances at Arsenal have been further limited with the summer signings of Olivier Giroud and Lucas Podolski and the striker is in San Sebastian hoping to finalise a permanent deal.
